Do you experience chopstick cramp while using chopsticks? Chopstick Buddies address this underreported issue that plagues a large population of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chopstick Buddies are attachments to a plain chopstick. They are designed for beginners, and for a sizable population who cannot hold unaided the Caswellian thumb pose<\/a> required by the Standard Grip<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have previously discussed, at length, our solution to the unnatural Caswellian thumb pose, in Model H: Finger Helpers<\/a>, the immediate predecessor of Chopstick Buddies. Finger Helpers are attachments to our Model T: Training Marcosticks<\/a>. These helpers allow any many users to twirl chopsticks<\/a> using planetary gear motions<\/a> with their fingers, for the first time. But these helpers only work with model T training marcosticks. They cannot be used on your favorite pair of chopsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chopstick Buddies fixes Standard Grip in the same way Finger Helpers do, with one difference. Chopstick Buddies do not require model T training marcosticks. They can be used with any plain chopsticks you fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about various learner and training tools marcosticks.org makes freely available, check out Training Marcosticks That Work<\/a>.
